A source told Hindustan Times: "The title song has a wide variety of singers who have come together for the actors with whom they have given many chartbusters. One such singer is SP Balasubramaniam, who was Salman's voice in Maine Pyaar Kiya, Saajan and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun to name a few.

"Now in Bombay Talkies, there is a portion which has a 'Didi Tera Devar Deewana' setting to it.

"This is the reason why they have not just retained SP Balasubramaniam's voice, they have also included the shots which should actually have featured Salman. Now there is a youngster, from whose point of view the song is seen, who would be seen in this portion.

"It is the best that the makers could do in order to refrain from curtailing the song, and in the process leaving out SP Balasubramaniam, who was heard after a hiatus, and still retain the essence of the song."
